What happened to WaitForFirefox? Does the lanucher always do something?

It's mentioned in Readme.txt but neither in FirefoxPortable.ini nor in FirefoxPortable.nsi

Does it mean the launcher always waits? If so, what does the launcher always do once Firefox gets closed?

Always Waits

It always waits because Firefox always sticks stuff locally.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

What stuff?

I'm using http://sandboxie.com and by default it only sandbox firefox.exe itself. So the question is what will the launcher do if everything Firefox does doesn't count (being sandboxed)?

Not Needed

You don't need sandboxie with Firefox Portable. Using it with it is unsupported.

The launcher is designed to work with unaltered Firefox with nothing else interfering. It handles removing some local PC files on exit. There is no way to turn this off.

But where are the lines?

Where in FirefoxPortable.nsi are the lines that delete leftovers? So I'd see if it's worth to sandbox them?
